In the past forty years, Xu Shan, as an emperor, has enjoyed full respect in the imperial capital, whether it is a mortal or a monk, in his eyes, there is no difference.

In the imperial capital, there were seven great Confucians and eleven scholars, most of whom were disciples of Xu Shan.

Although Emperor Xu Shan has never set foot on the road of cultivating immortals, every three years, he will open an altar in the imperial capital to preach, and the content of what he talks about is naturally not the law of cultivating immortals, but the principle of heaven and earth.

Every three years, a large number of monks will come to listen to Xu Shan's preaching, and every time, there will be many monks who have attained enlightenment, and then have made a breakthrough in cultivation, and they can't help but admire and even fear the emperor Xu Shan.

In their opinion, Xu Shan can be said to be powerless, but his thoughts have reached the realm of reaching the heavens and the earth, if this kind of person steps into the path of cultivating immortals, he will definitely soar to 90,000 miles like Kunpeng, and no one can stop him.

But it is precisely because of Xu Shan's mortal identity that in the past forty years in the imperial capital, no one has been disrespectful, even if he has murderous intentions against him, aside from grudges, he can't help but admire the depth of his thoughts.

And Xu Shan's farewell to old age has set off a huge wave in the imperial capital, and many people have hidden it in their hearts for many years, and the jealousy of Xu Shan finally broke out.

He must not be allowed to step out of the imperial capital for one step, otherwise he will let Xu Shan's blood splash five steps, this is the common voice of many people, this person is too dangerous, no matter where he goes, it will have an unpredictable impact on the cultivation realm of the entire Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Xu Shan is like a double-edged sword, which can make the Heaven and Earth Alliance glorious for forty years, and can also make the entire Xiuzhen Kingdom disappear.

In front of the Emperor of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, it was such a problem, Xu Shan was his master, but behind him, there was pressure from the True Cultivation Realm.

The treacherous dispute lasted for more than a year, and finally came to an end, His Majesty the Emperor allowed the emperor Xu Shan to say goodbye to old age, but he was not allowed to step out of Qingcheng for the rest of his life, otherwise, the entire Qingcheng would not be left behind.

Along the way, there were several powerful monks secretly following and monitoring Xu Shan and his party, and many people who followed Xu Shan chose to leave along the way, and in the end, only Ah Fu was left, accompanying Xu Shan back to Qingcheng and returning to the old mansion after a forty-year absence.

Xu Shan looked at the tea leaves that were gradually sinking in the teacup, raised the cup, and drank it all, and the past forty years ago was left behind with this cup of tea.

He is in the imperial capital, I don't know how many monks he has seen, the strongest person, naturally his disciple, is also the emperor of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, according to the standard of the monk, he has stepped into the realm of agility, with the ability to perceive the meaning of heaven and earth, can be described as a real great supernatural person, and the cultivation of three or four people is not under the emperor, but the same has not broken through to a new level.

But the feeling that this young man named Han Shi brought him was completely different, it was the same feeling as his understanding of the principles of heaven and earth.

This Han stone is not simple.

Xu Shan's eyes can be described as the eyes of Taoism, and he has never deviated from seeing people, and with the sound of striking iron in his ears in the past few days, Xu Shan is even more sure of what he expected.

Han Shi is a person who is hidden in the red dust and has a dull understanding, and his cultivation is still above the disciple of Emperor Xu Shan, and even the woman who served the tea in front of him must be Han Shi's wife, and this woman is not a mortal.

All these thoughts were completely covered by Xu Shan, he was silent for a long time, and said: "Iron is the gold of the five elements, water and fire are the two of the five elements, do you ......understand?"

Han Shi's eyes flashed slightly, and said: "Wood is the beginning of fire, there is no wood then there is no fire, the fire starts, the refining is the bone of iron, after a thousand tempering, the bone is formed, at this time, you need to enter the water, the so-called quenching, refining is no longer the bone, but the heart, the heart of iron." ”

"Refining the heart with water can be called iron, but it is not yet called iron, just because it still needs the baptism of dust, and the dust is the land of the five elements. ”

"And this soil is hidden in the years, refining the soul of iron, and only at this time can this iron be weighed. ”

"In this way, from the beginning of the gold of the five elements to the end of the gold of the five elements, it becomes a complete reincarnation of the five elements, it seems that I am boiling iron, but in fact, I am refining the power of the reincarnation of the five elements, but ordinary people can't see through all this. ”

"I refine iron, but what I refine is not myself, iron needs to bloom in the dust of time, and I am not, but the dust where I am is called red dust ......"

Han Shi took a sip of wine, letting the spilled wine drops flow down his chest, and at this moment, he suddenly had an indescribable bearing on his body, although he was naked, but he was extremely free.

Xu Shan's eyes were bright, and what Han Shi said, there was a sense of naturalness, and he almost said everything he thought, especially the last sentence, even Xu Shan himself did not have such an understanding.

Xu Shan even had a feeling that today, it was not him who ignited Han Shi, but Han Shi who ignited him.

This kind of feeling is too rare for him, in the past forty years, only others have consulted him, how can anyone dare to be his teacher?

"Everything can be made into a tool, I can only strike iron, but I am in phase. Han Shi put down the wine pot, picked up the teapot, and poured some tea for Xu Shan, this tea is not a good tea, but it was bought in the Li family tea shop on the street corner, a big bag of eight yuan, and I don't feel astringent when I drink it.

The afternoon sun shone obliquely into Shimei Curie, shining on the two of them, bringing warmth.

Xu Shan smiled dumbly, suppressing the faint idea of fighting in his heart, he didn't expect that at such an age, the desire to win still hadn't completely subsided.

Xu Shan casually picked up an iron tool placed on the table, it was an iron pestle, under the sun, the surface of the iron pestle shone with a faint brilliance, and the place touched was very smooth.

Xu Shan looked at it for a long time, nodded, and put down the iron pestle, even with his knowledge, he couldn't find fault with it, in the mortal world, the workmanship of this iron pestle has reached its peak.

"Han Shi, if one day you find that the things you have refined are no longer iron, then you have entered the realm of seeing mountains and not mountains, and in this way, you see that iron is no longer iron, as you said, everything can be made into tools. ”

"But after enlightenment and refining all things into tools, one day, you will find that this iron is still iron. ”

Xu Shan's voice is full of vicissitudes of life, and there is also an indescribable sense of grandeur, which seems to be the indifference of the original intention after seeing everything.

After a conversation, time flies, and unconsciously, it is getting late, but the two are still unsatisfied, Han Shi simply put the iron tools back, closed the door of the blacksmith shop, and informed Qingmei that he made a sumptuous dinner.

Xu Shan did not shirk, called Ah Fu over, and in the backyard of Shimeiju, he raised a glass to invite the moon.

But this time, Xu Shan drank wine, not tea.

Although there are many disciples, there are several well-educated people, but none of them have Han Shi like this, hidden is as speechless as a stone, and now he is proud of Cangyu and understands the principles of heaven and earth.

You don't have to be my disciple, you just need to understand my thoughts, and then, beyond everything about me, so that the flame of thought can burn forever.

During the conversation, Xu Shan seemed to be drunk, and kept saying some strange ideas, Ah Fu sat aside, with a wry smile on his face, he had followed Mr. for many years, and he had already seen no surprises, but in front of others, he was still a little uncomfortable, after all, some of Mr.'s views were indeed ...... Appalling and unbelievable.

For example, the world, like the stars in the sky, is not square, but a round ball, Ah Fu recalled that when he first heard this statement, he couldn't close his mouth, he couldn't imagine, if what Mr. said was true, wouldn't the person standing under the ball fall down?

For example, a person can completely merge his soul into the body of another so that he can continue to live, which is called ...... Snatch away.

But what made Ah Fu even more strange was that the blacksmith Han and his wife, in the face of Mr.'s various strange statements, did not change their faces, and their expressions were always indifferent.

In particular, Blacksmith Han said some words from time to time, some questions that made Mr. ponder for a long time before he opened his mouth to answer, and some of which Mr. did not know how to answer.

Mr. has never drunk much, but he repeatedly hinted with his eyes, but Mr. turned a blind eye until he was drunk, and Ah Fu could see that in recent years, Mr. was in the highest interest tonight.

As the night grew darker, Ah Fu helped Mr. and got up to say goodbye.

Xu Shan's drunken eyes were hazy, he shook his feet, and muttered vaguely: "Desire to work... Good... The matter must be beneficial first... Iron, unrecognizable...... Xianfan. ”

After sending the two back, Han Shi returned to Shimeiju, his expression was solemn, and Xu Shan's identity was not hidden from him.

"Worthy of the emperor's ......"

Han Shi groaned, in his impression, in addition to the divine operator, it is the most profound in this Xu Mountain, and there are many things that only people with great magical powers will know, but in Xu Shankou, just by deduction, he can draw extremely similar conclusions, and even, to see, even deeper.

"Iron, I can't recognize Xianfan......" In the moonlight, there was a flash of brilliance in Han Shi's eyes.

"I'll wash it, and you can just sit down. ”

Han Shi's figure flashed, appeared in the courtyard, took the rag in Qingmei's hand, sat in front of the basin, and brushed the bowl.

Qingmei sat quietly on the side, watching Han Shi's slightly clumsy movements, smiling silently, Han Shi has been washed much cleaner than before recently, and there is no need for her to wash it again quietly.

The quiet night made this scene full of warmth, I don't know when, Han Shi had finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, and under the moonlight, he walked into the room with a shy green eyebrow, where it was the world of the two.

There, whether under the candle or in a dream, there are green eyebrows by your side.

There, he could let go of everything he had monastic.
